Long-term politics
Trotsky L.D.
Phraseologism: Long-range politics.
Meaning: About far-reaching ideas, plans, strategic tasks.
Origin: The expression of Leon Trotsky (pseudonym of Lev Davidovich Bronstein, 1879-1940), first heard in 1927. In the original: "The policy of the distant sight."
Random phraseology:
Dead Souls.
Meaning:
1. People who exist only on paper - for the record, "for show", for show, etc. - imaginary members of the party, members of the club of voters, authors of a collective letter, etc. 2. People are morally, spiritually undeveloped.
Origin:
Title of the poem (1842) by N. V. Gogol (1809-1852). It is sometimes believed that the expression was widely used in the era of serfdom. In fact, it was born only thanks to Gogol's poem, since such a phrase is not found either in dictionaries or in official documents of that time. Therefore, this expression outraged a lot of people then. Censorship, for example, protested because it considered such a phrase blasphemous and contrary to the teachings of the church, according to which the soul is immortal, and therefore Gogol's words are nonsense. And Gogol's close friend, Professor of Moscow University M. P. Pogodin, was outraged by another: this expression seemed to him a crime against the purity of his native speech. In a letter to Gogol, he wrote: "Dead Souls" are not in the Russian language. There are revision souls, assigned, withered, profited..." The expression "dead souls" first appeared in Gogol's papers in 1835: in a letter to A. S. Pushkin dated October 7, he informed the poet that he had followed his advice to write a novel about buyer of dead peasants - began to write "Dead Souls". Apparently, this version of the title of the novel was already well known to the poet. But which of them was the first to utter the expression - "dead souls", who, in fact, is its author - this question remains open . |

Artificial leather for touch emulation
15.04.2024
In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person.
